Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 50-150) copper alloy T-shaped brooch of enamelled type, with hinge mechansim. It is missing its enamel decoration and the pin. It measures 41.05 mm and weighs 4.45 g.The wings are tubular but incomplete, measuring 17.40 mm and decorated on the front with two grooves on each side. The bow extends from the top of the wings (7.34mm wide, 2.75mm deep) at a 90 degree angle. Also from the top of the wings is a chain loop. Notably, the chain loop has never been fully drilled through.The bow projects c.5mm before dropping in a slightly angular curve. The upper half of the bow has two parallel rectangular cells running a length of c. 10 mm, these likely would have been enamelled. Below this area, at the centre of the bow, are two moulded triangles in each corner either side of a slight ridge which extends to the foot. The bow here is 6.96 mm wide, narrowing to 2.34 mm above the foot. At the foot are two thin ribs. The catchplate extends to the reverse of the lower bow at a depth of 9.16 mm.
